This beautiful poster has been re-mastered from an advertising poster for the Huntington Beach Speedway, from September, 1948. This speedway is now long gone, but the memories of this piece of local racing history can be kept alive through this great poster!
The vibrant colors and detail of this classic image have been painstakingly brought back to life to preserve a great piece of history.
The high-resolution image is printed on heavy archival photo paper, on a large-format, professional giclée process printer. The poster is shipped in a rigid cardboard tube, and is ready for framing.
The 13"x19" format is an excellent image size that looks great as a stand-alone piece of art, or as a grouped visual statement. These posters require no cutting, trimming, or custom framing, and a wide variety of 13"x19" frames are readily available at your local craft or hobby retailer, and online.
A great vintage print for your home, shop, or business!
HUNTINGTON BEACH SPEEDWAY HISTORY
Located at the southwest corner of Beach Boulevard and Atlanta Ave., Huntington Beach Legion Speedway was first opened in 1946 as a 1/5-mile dirt oval, this configuration being used again from 1949-1952. A ¼-mile paved oval was opened in 1947, and was used through to 1957. A 1/8-mile dirt oval, also known as the Talbert Stadium, was also used in 1948.
The track was a challenging loop for full-sized cars, which could easily spin out of control on the tight, barely-banked turns. This could be the reason that Midget Auto Racing was so popular on this track.
